There is sex in heaven

THE
effects of the shock of Pastor Agrippa Khathide's biblical ignorance
are still reeling in my cerebellum. I was aghast last week, by the sex
pastor's misleading notion that there might be no sex in heaven (City
Press, November 16). I found the piece to be quite poetic and out of
place because the preacher neglected a few points from the Bible.
Despite the fact that he pretended to be writing from pure speculation,
the man, as a victim of indoctrination himself, does actually have one
verse from the Bible to back him up. Reason would be to use it as a
shield if anyone like myself would respond negatively to his senseless
piece.

To help him, let me quote the verse in the book of Matthew 22:30:
"For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage,
but are as the sons of God."

It is a factual statement to say
that the Bible is very complicated and open to discussion and debate,
with regards to interpretation. On the other religious hand it is true
that in this world we have people who are called Gnostics (those who
claim to know God) and Agnostics (those who claim ignorance about deity
and do not dispute its existence since they can't prove neither claim).
Khathide has proven himself to be altogether an ignorant Gnostic, by not
only claiming he knows God but also by insinuating that in God's
Paradise there will be no sex. In the verse Jesus Christ, the speaker
there, never mentioned that there would be no sex for resurrected
saints, but he only stated that there'd be no marriage, and by this I do
not mean there will be promiscuity in heaven.

However, Khathide made reference to an eternal orgasm. Would it
really be hard for God to help us achieve an orgasm in a sexual way? I
mean according to Jesus Christ there will be food and wine in heaven,
although I'm quite sure we won't have to say any prayer to bless the
food. We will be living in the mezzanine of blessings themselves.
Rationally, there will be no need to invoke blessings as in traditional
matrimonial ceremonies before a couple can have sex. If God created sex
as according to Khathide and the Holy Book, why would sex suddenly
become vexatious in the place from which God created it? This is
senseless.

Another point is the line found in the entrails of the Lord's
Prayer: "Let thine will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Khathide
says in many of his controversial tapes that sex here on earth is God's
will. Now comparing the facts, the will is done on earth only as it is
in heaven. It shows that earth, on its holy turf, is a reflection of
heavenly affairs.

Moreover, Jesus says, in the verse preceding the no-marriage at
resurrection, "ye err for ye know not the scriptures." Does this mean
Khathide errs because of scriptural ignorance? Yes, indeed.

It is
funny how public orators like him are always put in positions that
portray them as knowledgeable. This is a general norm of church life,
where the pastor is right no matter how irrelevant or irreverent his
message is. Khathide is wrong, dead wrong and I fear to see the look on
his face at resurrection, because St James 3:1 says that preachers of
the word will be judged more severely. There clearly is nothing
unbiblical about what I'm saying, and this brings me to my simple
conclusion: there will be a whole lot of sex in heaven. The only time
that I am at peace and not thinking of my earthly problems is when I'm
having sex, and we all know there will be no crying in heaven, unless of
course those are tears of joy.

To make this article end amicably, I will quote the sex pastor when
he said in City Press: "one of the enriching experiences in life is to
get people who are bold enough to ask questions that are meant to test
the contours of orthodoxy to its very limits.

"Intellectual sparring with someone can be both challenging and
horizon-widening. Without it people will not be able to come up with
fresh and creative ideas." Therefore, Pastor Khathide, I hope this idea
of sex in heaven is quite fresh to all of us.

Amen!

Concern about sex in heaven without regard to the spiritual purity of an individual is a misplaced priority for both Pastor Khathide and Esseng. Both are presumptuous in thinking that they are already destined for heaven. Their arguments might be indicative of and predictive of their fitting destination - hell!

Yes, brother! The devil speaks with a wonderful and convincing tongue! His intelligence knows no bounds; and pastors and those who comment on them, might just be the typical devil advocates! Right on brother!

intresting subject you have here, please answer me just one question im in confusion, as writen in the bible it a woman is married more than once and her husbands die say they are two, who will be authorised to have sex with her in heaven and what about the other?

esseng your argument is very shallow as you conviniently avoided revealing parts of the scriptures, that you are so fond of qouting, that actually pour cold water on your argument. you are wrong to assert that everyone who interprets the bible are basically doing it out of assumptions. There is what is called revelation knowledge - The Apostle Paul used this kind of knowledge about heavenly affairs quite often. You also missed the point on the purpose of sex. I am sure you agree with me that it was designed for procreation. Now what you appear ignorant of is the fact that there wont be any additional inhabitants to populate heaven apart from the saved saints.

Maybe you need to read your bible, before you say someone is ignorant. When God gave the gift of sex to mankind , He meant for it to be consummated within the confines of Marrige which is why He presided over the first marriage before sin was found in man. In His plans - No marriage, no sex., Logically it follows, no sex in heaven..One thing to note though, we are not going to stay in heaven forever for God will create a new heaven and a new earth. therefore we might continue to live as Adam did with his one wife.

A positive (though somewhat speculative) scholarly case can be made that male-female relationships like marriage can continue between the redeemed into the next life. This may then also imply a romantic, physical or even sexual aspect in such a relationship. For more detailed information please google my website 'rezfamilies'.

I think the person above is only saying as he wants annd not keeping with the word of god truth,the bible clearly says no sin will enter into heaven or be allowed,so that means no sex outside of marriage,heavens not going to be one big orgie but of worshiping the father in spirit and in truth,all our intimacys will be with Jesus ,we will be the bride of Christ alone.
